Charging box with individual switches - no wiring needed!

Inspired by other projects here I decided to make my own charging station and I wanted to make one with individual switches to avoid keeping all the chargers running when I only need to use one, thus saving energy! This is what I came up with.

Step 1 What you need

To avoid wiring and complicated electronics, I bought six sockets with switches and searched online for a socket strip with the holes in a 90 degree angle so that I could place all the switch sockets in it. A regular 45 degree angle socket strip will not work. Sorry about my lack of English words, but take a look at the pictures and you will get the idea.

Great idea, and very clean looking as well. I priced out parts here in the US and it gets a little expensive, but doing it this way seems so much easier than any other way I've seen that I may just bite the bullet and go for it. You did a fantastic job!

Thank you! Since I got the wood for free, total cost for me was about 56 USD which I think is an ok price. Show us your result when you've done yours!
